THE POPULATION OF CHINA.
a Matter of Much Doubt-Now Al

A Matter of much Doubt-Eow $50
OOO,0. People An China.
The population of China has been q
matter Of much discussion and doubt
among foreigners. 1t has been claimed
that the figures of the Chinese census
are much too high. There is, however,
no known reason why the officials of
that country should exa9gerate their
population. There is 40 disputing the
fact That tho means existing there for
arriving at an accurate census are most
ample. Every house must have q list
OF Its inmates hung at it's door III O
violation OF this Is visited with pnR1sh-
mant.
The census OF 1876 gave the popula-
ton OF the empire at 435,0 o0 900. Since
that time Tonquin has been lost, with
~several. million people, and Ksshearia
hes been recouquered. Among no pee.
pie with any degree of c~isit,zation is the
birth rate 30 high So in China, and, al
though the death rate in the denseIy
crowded districts ia very great, there Is
every reason TO presume there are now
450,000,C00 people in China. These
figures represent more than one.third OF
the population of the globe.
In the great mountain ranges, on the
arid plans Of Kashgsria and the snowy
regions of Mongolia and Manchuria the
population is sparse, but IN the eight
central provinces of China proper-In
the fertile, allnyial Roils--tne population
is denser and more crowded than in any
other region of equal extent on earth,
The villages there are almost beyond
enumeration. and the number of walled
cities Incredible to those who have not
seen them. In the two Kiang provinces,
at the mouth of the Ysntz river, with an
area of 80 900 square miles. the poplla-
zion IN 1875 was $4,000 ,0G0, and there
were 12E walled cities.
The census OF 1876 PAS taken when the
richest portions OF these two provinces
had been devastated and depopulated
by the TAPPING rebellion Since that
time there has been q great importing OF
people from other regions OF the empire
especially from those districts where the
fannie Of 1878 prevailed. The natural
increase Of population has also been
very great, and it would be safe to say
that these $4,000 square miles have nov
